There is a small shop selling a huge variety of screws in Vienna. I may have to spend an hour there

Oh really? Which one would that be?
I recently moved to Vienna, and that sounds just like the shop I might visit!

My advice for sourcing these screws is salvaging dead bodies. It's a gamble, and often dead bodies don't come cheap for exactly this reason. But it's easier than trying to find the screws on their own.
At least if we're talking about the winder and battery cap.

@kanzlr
you could try Frank Timmann in Hamburg (google OM-doktor). He is a former Olympus repair man, maybe he can help you with parts.
He has serviced my two OM1n and has done an excellent job. When it comes to OM related questions I trust him. Always helpful and up for some OM-talk...

For future reference: the plastic screw is 2.15mm outer diameter, and it is definitely not M2.5. I ordered a bag of M2.5 nylon screws from china only to find that they're useless...
John, I respect your knowledge as THE OM guru, but please make sure you post correct information on internet.
